I was searching for something James Bond related since this year is the 50th anniversary of Bond (they'll be doing a big hoopla at the Oscars) and I'm a huge Bond fan (especially when Daniel Craig takes his shirt off). Instead of straight up Bond, I found this great Bond/Star Wars combo item. Loving this Cantina Royale t-shirt that has a silouhette of Han Solo but with a Bond feel to it. Awesome! $15.99 at Tee Minus 24.

And I promise, they're all awesome. $150 at PinkCheeks Studios.

I think that's pretty much all the food groups represented in one tasty treat. Liddabit Sweets has been getting a lot of press lately (they have a nifty looking book out) and if this is any indication of their candy styling, I think the attention is probably deserved. You should also check out "The King" candybar (Soft peanut butter nougat is sandwiched between a brown sugar-brown butter cookie and a layer of fresh banana ganache, and dipped in milk chocolate). Or maybe the Chocolate Stout Gingerbread Caramels (it's all my favorite words in one candy!) or...ok, start with the caramel corn, it's $12 for a 7 oz. bag at Liddabit Sweets.

You knew I'd get there eventually. The Eleventh Doctor's Bow Tie, official and licensed and all that. To be fair, the reason I chose the bowtie is because the jacket is too expensive. But still, bow ties are cool, so you know...get one. $29.95 at abbyshot.

The full title for this listing pretty much says it all: "Hand embroidered wall art time for love creepy man with red rose and mustache." And it is all of those things. It's also a fun thing to hang on your walls. Reminds me a bit of Edward Gorey's art, actually. And it makes me laugh. You can enjoy it for just $27.50 at Swans Crossing.

I like the style of this print. It's kind of moody and mysterious and kind of noir-ish. It would look great on the wall of a fan of Raymond Chandler or...cool art. $40 at Joel Benjamin Illustrated Goods.

I know I am not the only lip balm addict out there. If you are like me, and can't be too far from your favorite stick, perhaps you also might be interested in something a little different for the evening hours.

Let's all ring in the new year in the most traditional manner possible...with the flu. Yep. That happened. And if I could have propped myself up in the shower with one of these shower bombs, I think it would have been so much less brutal. I can only imagine how wonderful it would have felt to inhale menthol and eucalyptus because I never did make it out of bed. But don't be like me! Be prepared. These are only $7.99 for a box of four at Level Naturals.

Remember those old, cardboard containers that you used to get your blueberries or strawberries in at the grocery store? I think they still have them at the farmer's market today. But, they never really stored the fruit that well and always fell apart at some point. That's why we all should get this awesome ceramic version. Only $27 at Creativity Happens.

It's entirely possible that I have featured this pillowcase before, but that's totally ok because it's worth seeing again. Admiral Ackbar thinks you could use a nap. He's not wrong. $12 at Saturday Morning Pancakes.

Indeed. Keep your pants up and look good while you do it with this hunk of steel. Not only is it stylish, it has some historical value as it's made from the Port of San Francisco's last steam powered pile driver. That's pretty cool. $65 at The Welder Girl.

I think the description for this Sea Creature Buckle pretty much says all that needs to be said: "Durable! Creepy! Keeps your pants up!" I think it's the glass eye that really makes it. $32 at Miss Monster.

Now, whether this pillow is particually offensive totally depends on how well versed you are in...offensiveness. One side reads "Frig" while the other has the gentler, "Aw, Geez." Nonetheless, the calligraphy is lovely and they were designed by the same guy that makes Dinosaur Comics, so maybe let that be your guide. $30 at TopatoCo.

There are some bathrooms where this raccoon skull shaped soap will seem right at home. And then there are others where it probably won't match the crocheted toilet tissue cover. Just be aware that it might not be the best gift for your aging auntie, unless of course, she was a hunter, a naturalist or just kind of creepy. $8 at iamhome.

In these winter months, when the wind starts whipping, there is nothing better than a scarf to keep you warm. Unless it's a scarf with a hood. That's probably better. Even better still...one with a cool sugar skull design. $45 at Poppin' Bobbins.

I must confess that I have never seen the Lord of the Rings movies. But that's because I read the books and they weren't my cup of tea. The Hobbit, however, is a long time favorite and I look forward to seeing it on the big screen. This Bilbo plush would be an adorable gift for any fan, including me.$11.95 at Neato Shop.
